Meditation can be good, Sam Harris and the rest of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_dark_web are not.

oof, had no clue about it. Probably mistake not researching it. By my experience so far I haven't seen any trace of such philosophy in the App I'm using, I guess is very well packaged for a mainstream consumption.

  Individuals and publications associated with the term reject what they view as authoritarianism and ostracism within mainstream progressive movements in Western countries, especially within universities and the news media. 

  This includes opposition to deplatforming, boycotts, and online shaming, which are seen as threats to freedom of speech. Those who have been labelled as being part of the IDW come from both the right and left of the political spectrum. The validity of the term is contested by some it has been applied to due to the range of beliefs it encompasses.

Me neither, this is some unspeakable evil. Meditation apps should be about authoritarianism and ostracism. These people just don't know how to be mindful and chill.

If you haven't found traces of their bad philosophy in the app you're simply not looking hard enough pal. They might be subtly influencing you to think incorrectly.

Please make sure to watch out for these things next time you meditate.

yeah absolutely. Thank you
